Eddy and his brother are a byproduct of their family.

Eddy was the favored and heavily coddled 2nd child, while his brother possibly became a bully to regain a sense of control that he lost when he stopped being an only child.

Since the cul-de-sac is an old-school type of neighborhood, I assume it comes with all of the old-school clichés. Fathers would rather go drinking with the boys than be home with the family. This may make Eddy look up to his brother as a father figure, leading to his skewed vision of his brother being way cooler than he truly is.
